Good Eating!

After my long run yesterday (12 miles!) I needed to stop by Whole Foods on my way in to work to grab a couple of things, and decided to treat myself to their salad bar for lunch. Oh the glories of a high-quality salad bar!

Romaine lettuce

Shredded carrots

Artichoke hearts

Edamame

Roasted garlic cloves

Roasted red potatoes

Sliced egg

Ceasar dressing thinned with Bragg's liquid amino acids

Plus one of their Seeduction rolls (whole grains and a mess of different seeds) topped with Earth Balance spread. Heavenly.

Some other exciting food news --- I tried out Yolk at Chicago/Wells last week for the first time and could not stop raving about it to anyone who would listen. Not only did the food taste amazing but the quantity/price ratio was impressive --- we both ended up with meals for the next day. And I'm excited about First Slice opening up a new location near my work --- their mission is to feed the hungry with good food, the same food offered in their dine-in locations. They operate the cafe at the Lill Street Art Center, I've eaten there a few times and always been happy with the food, so I'm pleased that I now have them as a weekday lunch option!

And after months of lusting after Mark Bittman's new book, "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian," I have finally splurged and ordered it for myself. I can't wait to start trying stuff out.
